Strength training is a vital part of abalanced exercise routine that includesaerobic
activity and flexibility exercises.
Regular aerobic exercise, such as running or using a stationarybike,
makes your muscles use oxygen more efficiently andstrengthens your
heart and lungs. When you strength train withweights,
you're using your muscles to work against the extrapounds
(this concept is called resistance).
This strengthens andincreases the amount of muscle mass
in your body by makingyour muscles work harder than they're used to.
Most people who work out with weights typically
use twodifferent kinds: free weights (including barbells, dumbbells, andhand weights)
and weight machines. Free weights usually worka group of muscles
at the same time; weight machines typicallyare designed to help you isolate and
work on a specific muscle.
Most gyms or weight rooms set up their machines in a circuit,
orgroup, of exercises that you perform to strengthen differentgroups of muscles.
People can also use resistance bands and even their own
bodyweight (as in pushups, sit-ups, or body weight squats) forstrength training.
Many people tend to lump all types of weightlifting together, butthere's a
big difference between strength training, powerlifting,and competitive bodybuilding!
Strength training uses resistance methods like free weights,weight
machines, resistance bands, or a person's own weight tobuild muscles
and strength. Olympic lifting, or powerlifting, whichpeople often think of
when they think of weightlifting,concentrates on how much weight a
person can lift at one time.Competitive bodybuilding involves
evaluating muscle definitionand symmetry, as well as size.
Powerlifting, competitive weightlifting, and bodybuilding are
notrecommended for teens who are still maturing. That's becausethese
types of activity can cause serious injuries to growingbones, muscles, and joints.
Getting Started
If you're a guy and you've started puberty, your body will
havebegun making the hormones necessary to help build muscle inresponse
to weight training. If you haven't started puberty, oryou're a girl, you'll
still be able to get stronger - you just won'tsee your muscles getting much bigger.
Before you start strength training, you should be checked out
byyour doctor to make sure it's safe for you to lift weights. And toreduce
the risk of injury, it’s important to learn proper techniqueand to be adequately supervised.
Any time you start a new sport or activity, start out slowly so thatyour
body gets used to the increase in activity. It’s a good idea toinitially perform
the exercise without any weight to make sureyou're using
the proper technique.
Once you've mastered thetechnique, you can gradually add weight
as long as you cancomfortably perform the exercise for 8 to 15 repetitions.
Before you begin any type of strength training routine, get
someguidance and expert advice. Many trainers who work at
schools,gyms, and in weight rooms are knowledgeable about
strengthtraining, but it's best to get advice from someone who is acertified
fitness expert and experienced working with teens.
When lifting weights - either freeweights or on a machine -
makesure that there's alwayssomeone nearby to supervise,or spot, you.
This person, calleda spotter, encourages you andalso can act as your coach,telling
you if you're not
doing aparticular exercise correctly.
Having a spotter nearby isparticularly important whenusing free
weights. Evensomeone in great shapesometimes just can't make thatlast rep.
It's no big deal if you'redoing biceps curls; all you'll haveto do is drop the weight
ontothe floor. But if you're in the middle of a bench press - a chestexercise where
you're lying on a bench and pushing a loadedbarbell away from your chest - it's
easy to become trapped undera heavy weight. A spotter can keep you from dropping
the barbellonto your chest.
Many schools offer weight or circuit training as units in their
gymclasses. Check to see if you can sign up. Don't be afraid to
ask forpointers and tips about how much weight to start with and howto develop a routine.
